Hi,
Well this is a major kick in the groin. I just discovered a large crack in the port bow tang. Crack goes all the way from inner hole to outer surface at about the 1:00 position. Another crack is just starting inside the hole at 8:00. A few good gusts and that guy is gonna let go for sure. So has anybody replaced one?

Oops. Nacra 5.0.

There's a good write up on a Mystere by MN3 I think. Similar construction.
